North Carolina Officer Seriously Injured When Squad Crashes into Building

An officer with the Chadbourn (NC) Police Department is now listed in stable condition after being seriously injured in a vehicle crash while responding to a call for backup at a traffic stop on Wednesday morning, according to the police chief.

According to WECT-TV News, Chief Anthony Spivey says he called for backup and as one of his officers entered an intersection while en route with lights and sirens activated, an SUV pulled out in front of the patrol vehicle.

The SUV reportedly flipped and the patrol car crashed into a building.

The officer—whose name has not been released—was transported to a nearby hospital with serious injuries.

Two Minneapolis City Council members have tweeted this week that they're looking to make serious changes to, or possibly eliminate, the Minneapolis Police Department after George Floyd's death last week.

By the time San Leandro officers arrived at the Dodge dealership, dozens of cars were gone and thieves were peeling out of the lot in $100,000 Challenger Hellcat muscle cars. Nearly 75 vehicles were stolen Sunday, including models driven through glass showroom doors to escape.

“Our only path forward is to dismantle the systems that are designed to harm people of color,” Wesson said on Twitter. “A preliminary cut to the LAPD budget will not solve everything, but it’s a step toward to being the city we aspire to be.”
